Joshua Gordon Westmoreland

Joshua Gordon Westmoreland serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA8107 Aflcmc Wwk unit of the Department of the Air Force, where he plays a pivotal role in securing critical capabilities to sustain and modernize the B-52H/J Stratofortress fleet. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle management of complex acquisitions—including engineering services, avionics integration, engine upgrades, and technical documentation modernization—ensuring alignment with the agency’s mission to extend the operational life and combat effectiveness of legacy strategic bombers. He routinely handles competitive and sole-source contracts under FAR and DFARS guidelines, with a focus on delivering mission-critical aerospace systems through timely, compliant procurement actions. Westmoreland collaborates with a diverse array of defense contractors specializing in aerospace engineering, avionics manufacturing, and digital infrastructure support. While no single vendor dominates his portfolio, he maintains consistent working relationships with prime contractors possessing AS9100 and ITAR compliance, as well as specialized subcontractors in systems integration and data modernization. His approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, clear statement of work development, and rigorous contractor oversight to ensure technical fidelity and schedule adherence across high-stakes modernization programs. His contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” He does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead prioritizing technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic preferences, though he remains compliant with all federal small business participation requirements. Westmoreland’s procurement focus is concentrated in four key NAICS categories: 334511 for advanced navigation and guidance systems, 336411 for aircraft manufacturing, 518210 for computing infrastructure and data hosting, and 541330 for engineering services. He specializes in procuring integrated avionics suites, digital twin technologies, engine control units, and technical publications modernization services, demonstrating deep expertise in aerospace systems lifecycle support and defense IT modernization.
